The Best Sweater

About a year ago I decided I was going to trace off an old ready to wear jumper. However, I never got around to it and then happened across the Megan Nielsen Jarrah sweater which was very similar to what I was looking. The Jarrah is available in the new curve range, drafted to a sewing D cup, but unfortunately only available in PDF at the moment.

There are a few different options available which you can mix and match and I’ve also hacked one version to make the sleeves more voluminous.

I have made a lot of these sweaters in a very short space of time, eight in 2 months!

The jumper is relaxed fit but I wanted someone slightly more fitted so sized down two sizes and I love the fit.

I would definitely recommend this sweater and there are so many opportunities to play around with colour blocking and adding a contrasting ribbing. I have also made versions in sweatshirt fleece, jersey knit and this lighter weight textured knit which I think gives it a smarter feel.
